Abstract: | The incremental projection scheme and its enhanced version, the rotational projection scheme are powerful and commonly used approaches producing efficient numerical algorithms for solving the Navier–Stokes equations. However, the much improved rotational projection scheme cannot be used on models with non-homogeneous viscosity, imposing the use of the less accurate incremental projection. This paper presents a projection method for the Navier–Stokes equations for fluids having variable viscosity, giving a consistent pressure and increased accuracy in pressure when compared to the incremental projection. The accuracy of the method will be illustrated using a manufactured solution. |
